ah, thanks kuya doc caloy! :)
iwasan ko na yun salty foods.. yun pa naman yun hilig ko  ;D
yun 138 ata na yan na bp ko, yun nagbanchetto ako kumain ako ng aligue rice + sisig. ayun, nagkandahilo hilo ako at sakit ulo.
TY po kuya! :)

Wag ka magpakuha ng BP pag bagong kain, kakaexercise, coffee intake or in pain. madidistort yung BP mo and would give you a false reading.


ah, thanks Kilo!  :)

Thanks docs for the answer.

Follow-up question lang. So ok lang naman kahit di na magfast for annual exam right kasi usually CBC lang naman? Also, can I just tell the nurse na i-compensate nalang nila if ever yung mga numbers dahil hindi ako nagfast? hehe  :)

hehehe! kapag nagpapa-annual PE ka, yeah, wala naman usually fasting. :-) pero kapag nagpa executive check-up ka, you will be admitted and during your initial hospital stay, ipagfafast ka rin kasi may mga further blood tests pa silang gagawin depende sa package ng executive check up mo. :-)

Meron po kasi ako mild pigeon chest eh, kasi ngayon conscious na ako kasi lumalaki yung chest ko and halata na yung pagiging un-even minsan. Saka may times nga po na sumasakit siya sa loob hindi ko alam kung bakit. Dati pa ako nagse-search sa Net kung meron nagko-conduct ng surgery nun dito eh pero mukhang wala po. Ask ko lang po kung effective din po ba yung braces? Baka po kasi pede ma-resolve without undergoing surgery. Kasi as much as possible I don't want to suffer from it in the long run. Doc thank you nga po pala sa response

So far limited ang medical treatment at talagang surgical ang approach nito.

You should really consult a orthopedic surgeon or a thoracic surgeon for that especially if you feel pain. Treatment is basically a surgical customized approach..

Anong age mo na? Mas mahirap yung case kung hinde ka na adolescent kasi baka hinde na pwede yng bracing at kailangan na isurgery...

I am already 22 years old Sir, meron po kasi ako nase-search sa Net regarding this pero wala ako mahanap dito sa Philippines. Gusto ko magbaka-sakali magpa-brace kung kakayanin. Pero kasi whether brace or surgery kakailanganin ng malaking pera eh. Saka conscious na rin ako although hindi nahahalata ng iba pero iba pa rin yung sa pakiramdam ko eh. thank you nga po pala sa advise. I'll try to have a consultation regarding this maybe this year. So far wala pang time and ang talgang kailangan ko lang is masigurado na meron ngang consultation regarding this dito sa Philippines.

Yes marvin. Pectus carinatum yung umbok sa chest wall na bone. Kung deep naman ang deformity, it's called pectus excavatum. :-)


marvinofthefaintsmile

^^ so prang deformed rib cage? Anu b un? Ung mga ribs ng tao eh nagkakaron ng deformity like nagiging hugis patulis ang mga curved rib bones?

ctan

It's not necessarily the ribs. More of a deformity sa sternum.

marvinofthefaintsmile

ahh. sa gilid.. tama di ba?

ctan

Actually, nasa gitna ang sternum...

Mga doc kawawa naman yung pamangkin ko 4 years old pa lang nangangati kasi napabayaan yata ni yaya. Pagkaalis ng damit niya may parang namamasa sa damit niya yun pala may napisang higad  :(
Ano kaya magandang topical meds na ipahid sa skin niya? kawawa naman kasi namumula na yung likuran niya. Thanks very much!

Magwear ka ng gloves.
Kumuha ka ng scotch tape tapos dikit mo yung area na affected para matanggal mo yung hairs ng higad.
Paliguan mo yung bata ASAP or wash yung affected area.
Kung may antihistamine ka nakatago (Alerta) painumin mo yung bata.
Punta ka sa ER para resetahin ka ng steroids at para maprevent yung ibang symptoms.

Salamat doc. Sana nabasa ko to agad...
